Vinten launches Vega Lite PTZ control solution

Vinten has launched Vega Lite, a PTZ control solution designed to deliver automation, consistency and scalable control for studios working with PTZ cameras.

Vega Lite incorporates features including a shot grid for visibility of preset shots, multi-shots for flexible output, joystick profile editing to suit operator preferences, and instant recall of presets for specific sets and shows.

Advanced options include sequences where movement is defined by a series of stored keyframes, playout integration supporting all major automation systems, and AI-driven presenter tracking.

The system is designed for broadcast environments where PTZ cameras are used alongside traditional production tools, including secondary studios, streaming spaces, and stand-up presentation positions.

Vega Lite supports broadcast PTZ cameras from Sony, Canon, and Panasonic, alongside Vinten robotic heads. 

Vega Lite also provides a migration path to the full Vega Control System, enabling facilities to expand into higher-end robotic workflows, redundancy, and additional axes of movement as production requirements evolve.

“PTZ cameras are now a permanent part of broadcast production, but the control layer has not kept pace,” said Sergio Brighel, EVP robotics and prompting technology, at Vinten’s parent company Videndum. “Vega Lite applies the same control philosophy and workflow logic used in full robotic studios to PTZ environments, while integrating with third-party cameras, supports, and automation systems. This gives broadcasters the freedom to design flexible studios today, without being tied to a single vendor, and a clear path to scale from PTZ control to full robotic systems on one consistent platform.”
